A bottle of soap and a Screwdriver those were the presents I scored last year, in one of the worst Xmases anyone has ever had. Granted, theres the homeless, the people at war, the blind, the deaf, the poor, the politics and lawyers yada yada yada. yes, but lets use our suspension of disbelief and pretend EVERYONE and their friggin aunt have a great Xmas; at least for the duration of this piece.
Now as I see the snow fall on the slopes of Britania -I am watching King Arthur on TNT- while I sweat like a modafoka, waiting for my last laundry batch to be ready to hang, I felt like ranting a bit about what has transpired in between the last and this Xmas.
As most of you well know, last year was THE shittiest year I have ever had in my three decade journey on this Earth. Lost 3 jobs, my fiance, misplaced most of my real friends, got mugged, had an awful confrontation with the fucker who robbed us, strained further the razor edge relationship between my sis and I and ended up neck deep in a fucked up depression, the likes Ive never known and hope I never will ever again. Now, I had always looked forward to Xmas. Xmas is my safe place the one time of the year I really like and yearn for all throughout. Imagine my surprise, when I got to my Aunts new place and got a small present. My friend JF swore it looked like I would be getting an iPod, but what was my surprise when I eagerly ripped the wrapping and found the after mentioned screw driver.
Granted. I had officially had the most FUCKED UP Xmas ever.
It took a while, u know, Saturn Return being the bitch it is, but I managed to get out of that rut, found my misplaced friends, and over all had a good year. Now, it is the time to be jolly once again, and being honest to you, I was not really expecting anything at all, but ive been quite surprised.
You see along with the bitchiness and fucked-upness that is a Satrun Return, and as long as you dont join the 27 club, you end up reaping a good one, you level up, you get a boon -for lack of a better word. You gain insight on what has transpired the last third of your life and based on that, you can plan -in a manner of sorts- how you would like the next third to unfold.
But, there is a catch! You must MAKE IT unfold that way, as you now have full control and responsibility of what will become of you. Now, THIS is the real test and cheating will do you no good my friend.
With that being said, I am happy I found my friends once again, im happy I found new ones in unexpected places and I am quite determined to make it big because fuck it if Im gonna die trying: Im gonna be IMMORTAL! XD
